Culver City Climate of Change Must Be Accompanied by a Vision

temp156OP-ED


Those of us who love Culver City are aware of the climate of change we are facing today.

­
How do we hold on to all that is lovely and traditional about our city while making room for necessary growth and development?

What kind of Culver City do we envision for tomorrow?

Kingston was called Hazelton Avenue.

The drive-in could be watched from overgrown fields.

Much has changed since that time, and will continue to change for the better for our community.

It is my hope that every resident takes part in the decision-making process for the future of our city. Things do not remain the same, but they can be changed for the better.

Market Conditions:

Current real estate market conditions are in a correction phase after the meteoric rise in property values that began in 2002 and rose to dizzying heights in 2006.

At that time, I looked at my own home (purchased in the 1980s) and wondered if I could afford to buy in my own neighborhood again.

Culver City continues to be an area of intense buyer interest due to our proximity to entertainment industry employment, solid school districts, lovely, park-like neighborhoods and family-friendly communities.

Culver City properties have not experienced the drastic drop in value that other areas have. Still, a home has to be priced well in order to sell in this market.
